Medals

Dear Diary,

Today was a great day. I achieved something great. Oh and it was my birthday, bonus! Swimming I was, I SWAM the greatest distance, 4 whole miles. When I got to the end, CAREFULLY I took my goggles off and saw something amazing. Coaches and judges came hurdling towards me, like a herd of elephants. Medals, lots of them, I figured I had won, but what? The medals were beautiful, catching the light. One of them had gorgeous GREEN ribbon that almost sent a tingle down my spine. Suddenly one of them was dropped, dropped down a PIPE. We could hear it in the pipe. Trotting like a HORSE. Clank. Clang.
